The United Nations' top court has ordered Israel to prevent and punish actions that could lead to or incite genocide in Gaza.
The ruling was widely viewed as a step towards ending Israel's war.
But in the weeks that followed, troops have continued to act with impunity -- intensifying their indiscriminate killing of Palestinians.

Palestinians are trapped, with nowhere to go.
So, what can be done to end Israel's brutality?
